[ANN] goamz r2013.02.13

[Gustavo Niemeyer]

Version r2013.02.13 of the goamz package for interacting with AWS APIs
is available:

http://wiki.ubuntu.com/goamz

The following changes were made since the last announcement. Thanks to
the several people inside and outside of Canonical that contributed to
these features.

- Several operations on goamz/s3 will now automatically retry on known errors.
This makes it more bearable to deal with the eventual consistency and general
instability of the API.

- New multipart upload support.

Sending large files with automatic chunking and resuming can be done with:

multi, err := bucket.Multi("file/path")
check(err)
parts, err := multi.PutAll(theFile)
check(err)
err := multi.Complete(parts)
check(err)

- New URL and SignedURL methods in s3.Bucket:

- New iam package, by Francisco Souza:

- Several new regions in the goamz/aws package:

- Fixed signature bug related to the sorting of parameters in some payloads.

- PutBucket now handles LocationConstraint more properly.

- Support DreamHost S3-like service, and general non-standard
domain-based endpoints.

- Other minor bug fixes and improvements.
